Wembdon Parish Paper Wembdon Parish Paper Edition 16 Connecting with our community Latest News: Acting on the concerns of the village, Wembdon Parish council are continuing to work with Somerset County Council to reduce the speed of vehicles through the village. We are now finalising the position of Speed Indicator Devices through the village. WPC submitted a response to the Local Plan, reflecting views expressed by residents. The fallen willow in the playing fields, and the two tree trunks in the rhyne have been cleared. The trees on The Common have been trimmed and the willows along the verge pollarded (required approximately every 10 years). Skimmerton Lane has been inspected by Highways at SDC and repairs actioned. Fines were issued to drivers using the lane in the wrong direction during the latest road works. Defects along Moores Lane have been rectified. Recommendations from the recent playground assessment are being actioned, to include: replacing the swing chains, repair to sections of the soft play surface, and fence post repairs. These were all rated as low risk but we have taken this opportunity to action them. Additionally, we have installed a new gate with slow closure action in response to residents’ requests. We have been advised by SDC that signage advertising trades and businesses may require planning permission and they are currently reviewing the presence of those in the village. You may receive notification to remove any boards displayed without planning permission. Please contact SDC for advice prior to displaying such boards. Overgrown hedges and shrubbery continues to cause a hazard and annoyance to pedestrians and cyclists in the village, and at times a visual impediment to traffic. Highways view on this is clear – if you have a hedge bordering your property you own all sides of it and are responsible for trimming it to prevent obstruction to road users and pedestrians. Sadly no food is currently available at The Cottage Inn and the present managers will be leaving in mid-March. It is hoped that new purchasers can be found & The Cottage will once again become a thriving local pub. The Cottage remains an Asset of Community Value for the next 5 years as this was granted by SDC & protects the pub from development. Update from the Village Hall Trustees: I am sure a mixture of local press, social media and the obvious absence of workmen on site has alerted local residents to the current issues related to completion of the hall and playing fields. At the outset The Trust would like to express our sadness that Woodlands find themselves in this difficult position, we had a good working relationship with them and the building you see, holds testament to their skills and workmanship, alongside other professionals and the team. The Trustees, project team and our project and employers agents are working hard to assess the remaining works and prepare to go out to tender, aiming to restart work as soon as possible. At present we are unable to give a completion date. We are in contact with people who had made provisional bookings and as soon as we can confirm opening dates, contact will be made with all those individuals, groups and associations who are planning to hold events or clubs. We are aware that Wembdon Sunshiner’s staff, Wembdon junior Football Club and Wembdon Cricket Club are keeping parents and team members updated. No-one is in any doubt that with a project that is 70% complete, the absolute conviction and dedication of the team, the massive community support, concern and good wishes; and the support of our Parish Council, Councillors, SDC, and SCC, that anyone who wishes to will soon be using the facilities for fun, education, sport, creative and social activities, drawing many people together in community spirit. The Trustees WVHPFT WEMBDON VILLAGE HALL. There has been no activity on the Village Hall site since the New Year and the Parish Council would like to explain to everyone the situation from our perspective. The construction company has gone into liquidation and the Parish Council has been in regular contact with the Village Hall Trust and is totally supportive of their efforts to carry on. A way forward is being sought, by appointing a new contractor, and the opening date will need to be put back probably until the middle of the summer. The Parish Council have seen that the grants are in place to finish the Hall and that work will resume as soon as is possible. The situation with access from the NDR is different. Viridor Credits gave a second grant (in addition to the £1,000,000 grant for the Hall) over a year ago specifically for access onto the NDR. The various approvals and documentation for this adoptable work became very prolonged despite all parties involved (the contractor, SCC, the Trust) trying everything to move matters quickly. Regrettably, as time lapsed, the unspent monies from the second Viridor Credits grant was lost and the funding for the access has gone. This has put an enormous strain on the Village Hall Trustees and the Parish Council has resolved to step in. The PC is totally behind this superb project but could not support regular vehicular access into the Hall from anywhere other than the NDR. At the start of this project the village voted its support but only if Church Road was not used as the main access. The PC has always supported that stance. So, at its January meeting the Parish Council resolved to take over responsibility for providing the access onto the NDR, and allowing the Village Hall Trust to focus their funding, time and attention on completing the Hall and playing fields. The PC is looking at different ways of getting the access completed and a number of channels are being pursued. However, if it comes to it, we have taken the necessary steps to fund a loan to construct the access onto the NDR. This means that we have raised our parish precept funding by 8%. In effect, what does this mean? Our current precept is met by every adult tax payer in the Parish of Wembdon providing approximately £20 per head per year from your Council Tax. As from April 1st, your new precept contribution will rise by around £2 per person, per year. If we can get the access provided without having to use these funds then we could use the money for other projects in the village. We could pay off the loan for the allotments or we could begin to re-vamp the children’s play equipment in the park. But we are determined that the Village Hall project will not fail and we hope that you will support us. There is a rather good feel to the idea that EVERYONE in Wembdon will have contributed to the new facilities. We are not always aware how our Council Tax contributions are spent by the District or the County Councils. In Wembdon, we are very transparent about how we spend your Precept, we hope everyone can see how active and positive your PC is. Give-A-Day 2015 -2016 Last year our focus for the 5 community Give-a -Days was our new area of land between Great Oaks and the new Village Hall. 50 villagers or more gave up their time on at least one occasion to help with the ground clearing and the transformation has been amazing. All the overgrown copses have been thinned out so that a great variety of trees can develop and mature. The new wildflower meadow will hopefully come to fruition this spring and the hedge around it now only needs tidying up. I can only say a huge ‘thank you’ to all concerned and look forward to getting back together to finish the job. A special thanks goes to the Environment Agency who allowed a dozen of its staff to don outdoor gear and spend a day in November working on the area assisting us with the project. They cleared a huge amount of land either side of the rhyne and created a lovely adventure area for children around the fallen willow tree. Massive thanks to Ken Moss and his team. 2016 - So, what about this year?? We have a lot of trimmed branches to burn and the hedge around the wildflower meadow to carefully tidy up. We need to be very cautious as the bird nesting season is due and we must be respectful of this. Can I ask you to put SATURDAY 19th MARCH into your diaries for our next ‘Give-a-Day’ meeting up at 10.00am by the wild flower meadow. MANY, MANY THANKS, Neil. Parish Assembly. April 18th 2016 at 7pm. You are warmly invited to this years’ Annual Parish Assembly, to be held at St George’s School, Wembdon. This is not a normal Parish Council Meeting, and no business will be transacted. Instead it is your opportunity to find out what your Parish Council has been doing over the last year, and what it hopes to do in the future. We also want to hear what you may have to say about local issues. Please come along and ask questions, join in and enjoy some light refreshments. Local clubs, societies, voluntary and statutory organisations will be invited to speak about what they do, and showcase all the varied activities that go on in the village. Last year was a very good evening, and this year we hope to welcome many more electors, and to hear your views about what we are doing. Notes from a Councillor - Cllr Richard Webber.

PREFACE '•"^AN these bones live ? . and the breath came into them, and they ^-^ lived, and stood up upon their feet, an exceeding great army.' The question, that was asked in Ezekiel's vision, seems to have been answered satisfactorily ; but it is no easy matter to breathe life into the dry bones of more than a thousand pedigrees : for not many of us are interested in the genealogies of others ; though indeed to those few such an interest is a living thing. Several of the following pedigrees are to be found among the most ancient of authenticated genealogical records : almost all of them have been derived from accepted and standard works ; and the most modern authorities have been consulted ; while many pedigrees, that seemed to be doubtful, have been omitted. Their special interest is to be found in the fact that (with the exception of some of those whose names are recorded in the Wallop pedigree, including Sir John Wallop, K.G., who ' walloped' the French in 1515) every person, whose lineage is shown, is a direct (not a collateral) ancestor of a family, whose continuous descent can be traced since the thirteenth century, and whose name is identical with that part of England in which its members have held land for more than seven hundred and fifty years.

  • 2014 Bibliography 27
    Castle Studies Group Bibliography No. 27 2014 CASTLE STUDIES: RECENT PUBLICATIONS – 27 (2014) By Dr Gillian Eadie with the assistance of Dr John R. Kenyon Introduction Hello and welcome to the latest edition of the CSG annual bibliography and my second at the helm. The observant amongst you will notice John’s name at the top of this page. In an effort to clear my conscience regarding the level of help that John continues to provide, I will list his name under my own until such a time as he becomes fed up of helping me and throws me out of the nest. As always I have been, and will be, very reliant on the support of members to draw my attention to recently published articles and books. I encourage people to let me know if they spot a castle- related publication, regardless as to whether you think I should have seen it. Contact details are provided in this document and on the Castle Studies Group website: www.castlestudiesgroup.org.uk As per last year I have opted to continue the bibliography in John’s format and the review section is very much a combination of mine and John’s views. Continuing with my intention to include more online publications, this year’s bibliography contains one PhD thesis by Michael Fradley that recently became available to download, one online-only journal, Ex Historia, and one blogspot, Celtic2Realm. The inclusion of such items is hopefully welcome. One problem encountered this year in continuing to lay out the bibliography in John’s format is that I have nowhere to list items that have been missed in the years between the publication of John’s Bibliography 1945-2006 and the CSG Bibliography from the previous year.

  • Domesday Holder (1086), Died Hard
    ancient OBriDgtoater ant) t&e iRitoei parrett. BY THE REV. W. H. P. GRESWELL, M.A., F.R.G.S. THE legend that Bridgwater was so called from " Pons aquae " instead of " Pons Walteri " de Douai, the Domesday holder (1086), died hard. In Queen Elizabeth's time John of Bridgwater, alias Stone, a Jesuit exile and once canon of Wells is called " Johannes Aqua Pontanus." Even to-day many probably think that the old town is so called from a former bridge over the water of the Parrett. Where was the " Brugie " or " bridge " of Domesday, and how was " it constructed ? In Saxon charters there was the trinoda necessitas " of a Pons, Arx and Expeditio. Probably the first " Pons " was of wood and of two or more spans with one of them as a drawbridge, all founded on " a hard," over which at low water the waters of the Parrett flowed in shallow fashion, just as to-day they flow over " the hard " of Conib- wich (Cynwith or Cynuit) Passage, across which, within recent memory, waggons were driven, connecting the old road from Bristol with Cannington and the " Herepath," westward, over the Quantocks. 1 2 In a Cottonian MS., temp. Henry VIII, there is a sketch of Bridgwater and the mouth of the river Parrett (see accom- panying illustration), showing a three-spanned bridge (not an arch), and also such interesting details as Bridgwater spire ; two cannon guarding the mouth of the Parrett ; a shorter " " approach of the river from Stolford ; the Botestall itself 1.
